Going to help my sis-in-law sign up with Match.com
 
She's had such bad luck with guys, I feel bad for her. Not been her perky self for some time now, even depressed lately. I think I've got her convinced that she should try online dating sites as she's not had luck on her own. She's a little too old for the club scene, the guys at her church are taken, no romantic prospects at work and the fellas at 24 Hr Fitness are too agressive and sleazy.

Guys, if you were single and in your forties or fifties, would you only be looking for hotties in their twenties and thirties? She's convinced her age is the limiting factor though she really doesn't look her 49 years. She's really cute, fit, nice body but just kinda short (4'11") even for a Pacific Islander/Asian.

How's Match.com? Is it safe? Is it expensive? Is there some sort of guarantee of how many dates she can find within a reasonable time frame?

Like anything else on the internet you need to be a little street smart.. In general the quality is a little better than some of the free sights.
I am single in my 50s, hotties in the 20's are only looking for $$$ in the thirties they are looking for daddies for their kids or want kids.
I know quite a few couples that have met and married from match.com
Where is she located ?:D

Problems with Match:

1) Its the same set of men and women on there..today and 1 year from now...

2) Match only appeals to the visual (hence the pictures) as everyone appears to be perfect, write perfect profiles and have no past or present drama.

For example:
Perfect Male Profile: Great job, chisalled body, does not hate his ex-wife, can fix anything, will massage your feet everyday and will clean the spot behind the toilet, loves to slow dance to Luther VanDross and hold hands on a moonlit beach walk.

Perfect Female Profile: Great job, supermodel body, does not drink to hide emotions, does not hate her ex-hubby, loves a man who works on his cars, loves to slow dance to Luther VanDross and hold hands on a moonlit beach walk.

3) Match is the quick fix date site...relationships with staying power are not found there.

Worth a shot...as its cheap.

Oh...we need pics. Absolutely.

Why waste your $$$ on Match.com when you can hook her up here for free?

Of all the Match.com profiles to use as an example, you have to pick mine? :confused:

Just what I was thinking. Does she mind guys just a tad shorter than her?

I'm not sure if you've met her. She is sister-in-law number 2 of 4. She moved from HI to CA a couple of years ago. When you can come by to help me with my engine install, I'll be sure to invite her over so you an report back to the Pelicans if my assessment of her is accurate.

Plenty of single guys here, post pix or ban...

There's going to be an engine install AND a hot chick there?? Count me in!!! Vash can we pig hunt that day too ???

Sorry no pics of her from me. She'll put them up on Match or eHarmony, whichever she chooses.

Dude, I am not going to pimp her. If I'm going to introduce her to the fellas here, I have to be convinced they are good guys.

OK, so just throw her to the wolves (like me) on Match.com. At least here, you'll know (within minutes) who treated her poorly. Then you can start a thread about the person (ala Jimmy Deering). ;)

P.S. - We're all good guys... http://www.smileygenerator.us/commun...ns/whistle.gif

A wise choice.:p

A friend of mine in his 20s tried out eHarmony. I looked at a few of the profiles that he was "matched" with, they all seemed pretty realistic and not too good to be true. He actually went on quite a few dates thanks to the site, but nothing lasting. Of course he's scared of commitment, so take it with a grain of salt. Personally it seemed like a feasible option.
